Secrets of Success

DIY Facial - a lovely treat without a trip to the expensive beauticians

Put on some relaxing music...light some scented candles...first cleanse your face with a normal cleanser... then steam your face over a bowl of boiling water for approx. 10 mins...then exfoliate as directed (I use St Ives Apricot Scrub)...next add any face mask (clay or whatever suits) and leave on for the directed time...finally wash this off and moisturise if you need - et voila - healthy glowing skin without the mega price tag. I just use ordinary skin products from the chemist or supermarket

Pick yourself up and carry on....

When I feel like I'm failing, or a disappointment or will never reach my goal, I say to myself:

"Ever tried, ever failed. No matter. Try again, fail again. fail Better"

It's by Samuel Beckett, the playwright. It sounds odd, I know, but it reminds me that no-one in the world is perfect. We all make mistakes and sometimes take the wrong road but the important thing to do is pick yourself up and try again, if you fail again, no matter, just keep on trying.
